    CMGT 582- Communication for International Development Fall 2011, KER202 Martin Hilbert Office hours: by appointment; mhilbert [at] usc.edu Course description: This course builds on two main concepts: Development: We are usually quick to note that we live in a global communication landscape, but we all too often do not pay enough attention to the fact that 82% of this world is living in conditions that are quite different from ours: the developing world. Half of the human population lives with less than US$2.50 per day, making that a monthly income of less than US$75 for every second member of our global information society. This does not only matter for those who are poor, but shapes the global communication landscape as a whole. We still start with reviewing the multiple dimensions of development. We will discuss questions like: What is development? Is poverty merely a matter of economic well-being? What are the driving forces behind development? What are the dynamics and interplay between developed and developing societies? What is and what can the international community (like the United Nations, World Bank, global NGOs) do about it? We will spend most of the time discussing the question: What is the role of communication as a building block for the development of a society? Digital innovation: At the same time, the introduction of digital ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) changes the lives of all people around the globe (directly or indirectly). In less than two decades, 2 out of 5 people worldwide have linked up through the Internet, and 4 out of 5 have connected with mobile telephony.

  • Listening to Everett Rogers: Diffusion of Innovations and WAC Stephanie Vanderslice University of Central Arkansas
    22 Language and Learning Across the Disciplines Listening to Everett Rogers: Diffusion of Innovations and WAC Stephanie Vanderslice University of Central Arkansas In “The Future of WAC” (1996), Barbara E. Walvoord suggests framing the history and future of the writing-across-the-curriculum move- ment according to social movement theory (58), explaining that WAC qualifies as a movement because of its “change agenda and its collective nature—faculty talking to one another, moving to effect reform” (58). Con- sequently, she proposes that her evaluation of WAC’s progress at the 25 year mark and her re-envisioning of its future within this movement frame will uniquely reveal its “characteristics, strengths, and problems in ways that may help us think creatively about them” (61). Certainly creativity may be the order of the day as the WAC move- ment, in spite of its successes, struggles to maintain its vitality and visibil- ity against the perennially resistant landscape of academe. Such resis- tance, educational reform scholar Parker J. Palmer reminds us, (though few at the front lines of the WAC movement need reminding) will remain an essential feature of the academy as long as teaching “retains low status... tenure decisions favor those who publish, [and] scarce dollars. .always go to research” (10). These conditions result in a “constitutional gridlock” which breeds the “mood of resignation. .and despair” so familiar to those seeking reform (10). Walvoord’s review of WAC’s progress from a social movement per- spective turns the literature in an important direction. By providing the template of social movement theory against which to examine their suc- cesses and failures, WAC proponents are forced to take a more analytical approach to their subject, an approach that transcends the more anec- dotal “what works and what doesn’t” scholarship that has dominated writing-across-the-curriculum, especially in its early and middle years.

  • A Summary of Diffusion of Innovations
    Les Robinson | Phone 0414 674 676 | Email [email protected] Web www.enablingchange.com.au | Blog http://enablingchange.posterous.com A summary of Diffusion of Innovations Les Robinson Fully revised and rewritten Jan 2009 Diffusion of Innovations seeks to explain how innovations are taken up in a population. An innovation is an idea, behaviour, or object that is perceived as new by its audience. Diffusion of Innovations offers three valuable insights into the process of social change: - What qualities make an innovation spread successfully. - The importance of peer-peer conversations and peer networks. - Understanding the needs of different user segments. These insights have been tested in more than 6000 research studies and field tests, so they are amongst the most reliable in the social sciences. What qualities make innovations spread? Diffusion of Innovations takes a radically different approach to most other theories of change. Instead of focusing on persuading individuals to change, it sees change as being primarily about the evolution or “reinvention” of products and behaviours so they become better fits for the needs of individuals and groups. In Diffusion of Innovations it is not people who change, but the innovations themselves. Why do certain innovations spread more quickly than others? And why do others fail? Diffusion scholars recognise five qualities that determine the success of an innovation.

  • Message from the President
    Welcome Message from the President We are very glad to be back to Bangkok to hold the 14th biennial convention of the East Asian Economic Association (EAEA14) again. Our 5th convention (EAEA5) was held here in 1996, the year before the Asian Financial Crisis began. Subsequently, we witnessed the painful process of economic rehabilitation in the region’s economies. Almost 10 years later, another big shock or the Global Financial Crisis hit them, though they were able to adjust better this time. The EAEA aims “to promote the advancement of economic science with particular reference to Asian economic problems.” We have been tested as to what extent this goal is attained in each convention. Let us turn these challenges into great opportunities. The region’s economies are often regarded as more resilient than those in other regions. They have achieved remarkable progress in industrialization, international trade and investment, macroeconomic management, and human capital formation, but they still face old and new problems in these and other areas. We can learn from these experiences by examining facts, analyzing mechanisms, and proposing policies and then share the knowledge with other regions. This convention heavily owes to many individuals and several private and public institutions. I sincerely hope that their efforts and contributions be fully utilized and rewarded with two days of hot and serious debate, which would be the best way to express our gratitude to them. Akira Kohsaka, Ph.D., Prof. President of the East Asian Economic Association Kwansei Gakuin University 1 Message from the Dean The Faculty of Economics, Chulalongkorn University, is delighted to host the 14th International Convention of the East Asian Economic Association during 1-2 November 2014 in Bangkok.

The developing world today faces enormous difficulties, and those challenges are made more daunting when women lack the information they need about family planning, reproductive health services, or the prevention of HIV/AIDS. I also see firsthand how important it is to elevate the status of women and combat such harmful social practices as female genital mutilation, child marriage, INTRODUCTION and marriage by abduction. And I am gratified when I see the surveys that document how our programs are successfully changing attitudes and behaviors and promoting positive social change. But I also see in my travels how much work remains to be done. It’s a big world out there, and measured by population, it’s getting bigger – an additional 228,262 people per day.
